Rhythm Doctor

Comments

I specifically made an account just so I could make this comment. For some reason, this game is extremely charming to me, which is saying a lot because I get bored of most rhythm games within an hour of purchase. I'll definitely be donating as soon as I can. Great work!!

I cannot wait for this game to be out on Steam, I have been playing it ever since 2013. What can I say? The music is amazing (how many different styles there are), the gameplay is simple yet addictive, and I love how it teaches different things in music, like dotted eighth rhythms or 7/8 time to spice things up. The artwork is also adorable. I am a huge fan of Rhythm Heaven so of course I would love this game!!

Truly a masterpiece. Especially if it's your first game. Everything about it is amazing, especially the occasional meta jokes here and there. Keep up the good work! I can't wait for the Steam Release. Do you plan on keeping player-made levels available?

I don't know why but once I get to the second phase of oriental insomniac the game has this horrible delay when I press space. I've played on different computers and browsers before and this has never happened, any help?

you just have to press your spacebar harder, and make sure the noise of you hitting the spacebar is in sync with the music. the travel time of your spacebar makes enough difference between tapping and slamming it. hope that helps

(composer here) Thank you TheSimplify, really glad you like it!! We do have some callbacks to the oriental hiphop style later in the game. For now here's a similar track by The Shanghai Restoration Project you might like:

To be honest, I could care less if it restarted me back to the first level. After all, it would let me see the changes made, and i can listen to the awesome songs y'all made. But then again, that's just me. Good luck, and have fun making the game, i love it!

Classy (hard) feels a little bit easir to make an S on it rather than the day shift version, but it's possibly just the cues that the nurse is saying.

Sorry it's unreasonably strict for you, different people have different expectations for sure. This game has a 0.07-second window on both sides. We chose the stricter side of things for this game, since the difficulty in other areas (multiple buttons, dense inputs per second) are nerfed by the core mechanic. We'd recommend games like Crypt of the Necrodancer if you enjoy more forgiving timing. Thanks for the comment, it's appreciated!

Hey again FingerHD, glad you're excited haha, unfortunately we really can't. It's our first game and so we haven't got a feel of how long things will take, gamedev can be full of surprises. Maybe if we were more experienced we could be confident enough to put a date to it. We'll definitely announce a date when we're closer to release though! The email subscription list at rhythmdr.com is a good idea if you don't want to miss the date if you haven't subscribed already.

that usually happens if you're using a newer flash projector. if you haven't, can you try using the one thats in the folder by dragging, like in the instructions in the text file? lmk if it doesnt help thanks

I really, really love this game! It's a great inspiration and its so cool to see you being so responsive! I really love the character and charm, and the sprites for all the characters you've made are so cute and I love them so much!!! This is def one of my favorite games and im sure i'll love it so much more when it's done!

Ahh no problem!! Maybe one day i'll even draw some fanart even though im not too good with human characters < : 0 I've been spreading the word of this game to my pals, too! Thanks for makin this radd game

heya, right now that extra standalone level is broken yeah, but we've just set up a new server for our game. I'll probably be able to upload it on there in a few days, will reply to you here when i have!

Thank you very much, I also love how you reply almost inmediatly to the comments who have problems with the game and those with some feedback, which you actually consider for making the game better, harder, easier and enjoyable c:

I liked the December level. It was very challenging and took me at least 1/2 an hour. I can't say the same for the January one, however. It was sort of simple and took me about 5 minutes. I do have an idea for "Heartbreaker" mode where one (or two!) mistakes ends the game. If you beat it, you could get a "H" medal or something similar

hey jdfamnlj, thanks for the feedback! yeah the january one is meant to be 'for the person who has never played the game before', its like an alternative first stage. Whereas the december one was for the person who had completed the entire game, so yeah pretty much completely opposite difficulties.

Heartbreaker mode is a cool idea!! Functionally it would be the same as trying to get an S rank (except it just ends automatically rather than you restarting), which is why i wanted to use it only for the challenge levels and boss nightshift modes. But we could do it as a gauntlet, beat many stages in a row on 2-3 lives only. Maybe you have to beat all the levels in that act in a row, with heartbreaker mode, and its also doublespeed?

Thank you so much for making this fun little game!! After giving it a break for a few months, it's just as fresh and fun as I remember haha!! \(*V*)/

I've also only JUST noticed those funky little freebie levels that were sent out throughout last year (as mentioned on this webpage anyways) and I am almost jealous I didn't QUITE sign up to the email listings on time (by a LONG shot haha) ( /v\)

I hope that the start of 2017 has been kind to you (~*v*)~ I look forwards to what other little tidbits you make :D (And, of course, this infamous full game I keep reading about in the comments)
